I wrote this letter, strong.
Then I re-wrote it.
Then again, soft.
Revised my desires out of it.
Folded it for the bus.
And now I'm thinking
all I want to say
is your three favorite words:
YOU ARE RIGHT.

This could never work
because a relationship can't happen
if only one person has the desire
and because you've known all along
that you never wanted this
and told me
in gesture

it's so clear, writing and rewriting
that I was right the first time:
you like watching me squirm
and I'm too happy to oblige you.
